Please help -I'm not a natural stylist. I can dress up for a night out, but I'm lost at daytime wear at this time of year.

I'd love a bright dress eg orange or red, but would I wear black tights, sheer tights? Boots? Other? (I'm usually in trainers or converse as have bunions/ wide feet.
I have a denim jacket, leather jacket, bright cardigans to go with anything ...

If helpful I'm 5'1, size 10 or so, petite hourglass so can't wear anything too boxy, floaty as it'll drown me. Not massively keen on florals at my age as don't want to look granny!!! I think it's a family lunch at a restaurant/ pub and would just like to look my best tbh

I've been to TK Maxx but there were no dresses.

Please style me!!!

Here's a few dresses I've found quickly, what's your preference for length? Being 5'1 would you prefer something a bit shorter? Love the bright colours, also added a leopard (I know it's not for everyone) I'd pair with some good leather calf boots and you could wear with or without tights. Xx

Here's some boots I found, something this style would be nice and also you'd get wear out of them at other times perhaps with jeans etc
